2019 BMW X4 xDrive30i Review: Munich Mullet

Verdict5.7/10

For most people, the ideal crossover checks three important boxes: Space, comfort, and efficiency. Or at least, one of those three. But the new-for-2019 BMW X4, as with most crossover coupes, throws conventional crossover thinking out the window.

BMW's X4 Antics:

The standard SUV looks of the X3 get swapped for sleek fastback styling instead, the spacious boot disappears in place of a shrunken trunk, and in an effort to add a pinch of sportiness to the X4, BMW stiffens up the suspension. On paper, it sounds promising, but the end result is a mishmash of mediocrity.
